Learning From Beethoven

Beethoven is one of the most musicians in the world. He has many symphonies and songs that make our heart feel calm, peace, and amazed about it. Do you know that he’s actually deaf? How the musician makes a symphony if he’s deaf? Well, nothing’s impossible.

He was deaf when he went to reach his adulthood. He felt so depressed about it. So, he decided to go to a village to calm him down. But one day, there was a man who knocked his door. Beethoven was surprised, and he suddenly got an inspiration to write a symphony. Based on the sound of that man knocking the door, he composed a music that later would be known as The Fifth Symphony. That symphony made him so famous.

Nothing’s impossible in this world. God has given us talent to make us feel better in the world, and make us being known by people around us. So, don’t regret your life. It’s a beautiful life that must you finish elegantly.

The Magic Requiem

Mozart was a genius composer. He had written many song of opera or mini concert, quartet style or big orchestra. He had learned violin since he was five years old. So, he was already able to make a composition when he was twelve. Many composers amazed him because of his talent. He has a good carrier and began to play music in a palace.

After that, he decided to get out from his job in palace. But he came into a difficult life. He lost much money and he began to drink to waste his depression. Then, he got a rival. His name was Salieri. He was a musician too. But he didn’t like Mozart’s behavior. So he asked Mozart to make a Requiem Composition. Mozart had known that this composition was made for him. But, he still made this composition.

Finally, he could finish his composition. But he died after this, just like Salierie’s supposition. What happened next? The requiem song was sung for Mozart’s burial. So, coincidentally or not, he had made a song for his own burial.
